What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values innovation in fraud prevention and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Fraud & Risk Specialist with over 5 years of experience at Apple and more than a decade in customer service and tech support. My expertise lies in risk analysis, behavioral pattern recognition, and developing strategies to combat digital payment fraud. I pride myself on my ability to work independently while also leading teams to deliver exceptional service in high-volume environments.

At Apple, I have successfully investigated high-risk online transactions and collaborated with internal teams to align fraud strategies with customer experience. My commitment to speed and accuracy has earned me recognition for maintaining trust with global customers. I have consistently delivered high-quality support, ranking among the top advisors in my previous roles, and have a proven track record of enhancing customer trust through effective fraud detection.
